You Can Do It

Becca is asking us to make a card with purple on it, and this is my card:

I started with a panel of watercolor paper and white embossed the butterfly from Tim Holtz' Perspective Mixed Media set. Over top of that I white embossed the You Matter background stamp. Then I set to with Dusty Concord and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. Around the edges I rubbed in some Seedless Preserves and Black Soot Distress Crayons.

I die-cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a white card base.

I've been waiting and waiting for the You die-cut that matches the You Matter stamp set to come back into stock, so while I wait, I decided to scan the stamped image and cut it with my Silhouette. And yes, I do see the irony. I really should use my Silhouette more :) The rest of the sentiment was white-embossed onto black. I finished the card with some Wink of Stella and clear sequins.

This is absolute perfection Karen!! It's dramatic with simple lines that make your sentiment shine! Barb, this is beautiful!! That hydrangea has such pretty detailing and looks awesome paired with that dry embossed background. Thank you for raising your voice in support of victims of domestic violence at the Hop to Stop.

This card has the WOW factor Karren! LOVE the boldness of it and the layered embossing is fabulous! Thank you for your kind words on my blog for myself and Mum, it was greatly appreciated! I'm afraid I must dash, got to sort out some more things that my poor mother had got into a muddle because of the Sepsis! Have a wonderful week! Hazel xxMy Card Attic

About Me

I've been stamping regularly for about 16 years now and I love it! It's a great way to unwind after a hard week crunching numbers at my day job. My home life involves my DH and two sons, 19 and 14, as well as our dog Dexter.
